NOTE



Do not apply unnecessary force to the
power liftgate when it is opening/closing
electrically. Unnecessary force on the
liftgate may cause it to reverse direction
of movement automatically. Also, it
could result in a malfunction.



The power liftgate may not open/close
electrically if the vehicle is parked on an
incline, or there is strong wind, or the
liftgate is laden with snow.



If a power liftgate system fuse has
blown, the liftgate cannot be opened
using the power liftgate switch or the
electric liftgate opener. Use the
emergency lever to open the liftgate.



Fully close the power liftgate before
disconnecting the vehicle battery. If the
battery is disconnected with the liftgate
open, it cannot be opened or closed
automatically after the battery is
reconnected. If this happens, fully close
the liftgate manually to restore the auto
full open/close function.



If the system detects weight such as that
caused by a snow-laden liftgate when it
is opened electrically, after the beep
activates three times, the liftgate stops
after reversing.



If the power liftgate is snow-laden,
remove the snow before operating the
liftgate.

Operation using the transmitter

Press the power liftgate button for one
second or more. The hazard warning lights
flash twice and the liftgate opens/closes

NOTE



When the ignition is switched ON, the
transmitter does not operate.



When opening the liftgate by pressing
the power liftgate button on the
transmitter, the liftgate can be opened
even when it is locked.



If the power liftgate button on the
transmitter is pressed while the liftgate
is opening/closing electrically, the beep
is activated and the liftgate stops. When
pressing the power liftgate button again,
the liftgate moves in the reverse
direction.
